Thank You, Nick Bruel!

Author/illustrator Nick Bruel visited Indian Knoll on January 16!  Our students love his Bad Kitty books so much, they are almost always checked out. 

To prepare for his visit, students in kindergarten through fourth grade visited the media center for a Nick Bruel storytime.  We read Bob and Otto, Who Is Melvin Bubble, and Poor Puppy.
 
During his presentations, Mr. Bruel read his book Bad Kitty to the students.  Then he told students how his books start with a title and led them through a story writing activity starting with a title they generated and using their ideas.  Several of our students later brought me their drawings and stories, inspired from this activity.

Thank you to FoxTale Book Shoppe for coordinating Nick Bruel's visit to our school!
